It's that time again tankers !
The September 2017 tank battle event at the worlds largest indoor r/c battlefield at the
AFF-Tank-Museum in Danville , VA
Book your hotel rooms now and start going through your tanks for maintenance , if you haven't done so already.
This will be a Rolling Thunder event with planned scenarios and chains of command as well as logistics, arty, minefields, etc.
This is a stock apple configuration event with the exception that fixed guns can run TFA if you wish. We will be doing brief inspections to make sure we're all on the up and up.
This will cover:
Tank taking hits and dying according to class.
Emitter tube depth and width. (no greater than 6mm ID and no less than 9mm from the front of the tube to the front of the bulb)
No blockage of the IR reciever and proper configuration.
On road speeds with a +2 allowance.
Visible flash in the barrel.
We will also be running more casual battles in the mornings as well as Rolling Thunder orientations and briefings.
If you don't have an IR tank ready still come check out the action and with such a great bunch of people there are usually participants more than willing to loan out a tank to check out and possibly battle with.
At this event we may going to start briefings and demo's on 2 person operated tanks for battles.
